i dont think the ecu controlls the tems, unless you got a front clip and replace front struts with bilstiens
TEMS are a novelty. I'm on coilovers and love them. If you're on a tight budget you can remove the TEMS system and set the shocks to full hard (Jose Valle told me about this a couple years back). If you want a plush ride, get a Cadillac. If you want a Supra, ditch the TEMS and get coilovers 
The Supra is a GT car not a race car. I like the ride TEMS offers
Of course TEIN EDFC is a wonderful evolution of the whole concept of TEMS.

LOL Dirgle, GT car or not, the Supra is a race car at heart. Doesn't hurt to help make it better.
you have to wire the tems up from the connectors. on mine the jdm connector didnt have the pins or wire in the tems spot. all you got to do is plug the wires in the connector for it to work. I ditched tems went with the bills.

I 100% agree with this. But then again I come from a background of RX7's where they were actually built with the idea of being able to turn quickly. If I wanted a dedicated road race car, a MK3 Supra would not be on the list.
To answer the original question, the controller is not housed in the engine ECU. There are a few different shock options that are available outside of OEM shocks that work with the TEMS system. I personally have the Tokico Illumina 2's that are TEMS compatible and it does seem to make a difference on which level is selected. I leave it on Normal 90% of the time because I mostly drive the car to work when I do get it out. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
